About

The grants committee is comprised of volunteers from the FDA and its Board. The Committee receives, reviews and researches grant requests and makes recommendations to the FDA Board regarding grant approvals. The FDA Board makes the final decisions regarding which grants are awarded.

The Community Grants program is a vital part of the FDA’s service to the Fan residents. The FDA’s community grants provide a means of reinvesting in our community and of contributing to the vibrancy and spirit of Fan living. These grants support Fan capital and park projects, neighborhood beautification efforts, Fan-based cultural, educational and human service organizations, and other Fan District enhancements.

Grant Process

and organizations seeking funds through a community grant must complete an
online application. Grant applications can be submitted during the grant review period each year.
After the application window has closed, the grant requests are researched and
recommended for approval by the FDA board. Approved grants are awarded at the
FDA Annual Meeting in May.
